[greg.m]

Guys, ill soon big my new SB system but i dont what to buy.

Which motherboard you think its good/best? Im planning to run sli or cf should i look to something like ud7 or maximus which gives 2 x pcix16?

Then, im gonna overclock my 2600k of course, which boards are best to that?

What about memory, any suggestions?

And of course any tips where i can buy a really goood 2600k batch? Or anyone who wants to get rid of his reeeally good 2600k?

Cheers

Both are good boards. The M4E overclocks very well, but its a little iffy when you have a lot of GPUs and PCIE cards because of the placements of the PCIE slots. They are all close to each other. They should've really placed the PCIE 1x slots before the 16x slot.

The the UD7 has better PCIE slot placements so everything is not so cramped.

I still like my M4E. Looks better.
